Figures & Tables
The manuscript may include up to 10 figures and/or 6 tables, with a maximum of 16 display items. For initial submission, figures should be incorporated into the main text file if possible, although the manuscript may alternatively be uploaded as one text file with separate figure files. Figures and tables must be cited consecutively in the text, every table must have a descriptive title, and figures assembled from multiple images must mark the boundaries between original parts.
Rapid Reports
Cover Letter
A cover letter is required. The cover letter must include the paper title, a brief summary of the main point, a statement that all authors have reviewed and agree to the publication ethics policies, names email addresses and ORCID IDs for all authors with one corresponding author selected, and names affiliations and email addresses of potential referees.
Abstract
A short abstract is required. Abstract must not exceed 150 words. A short unstructured abstract is required.
